I’m so proud of this. Our faculty costume contest theme for #halloween2019 was “Famous Duos.” BOOOOOOOM! #langchat

@AmericanAir Standing here looking at a dozen machines that just don’t work, two long lines of passengers, and TWO staff members at the counter doing their best to deal with all of it.

@AmericanAir needs to evaluate the “self serve” kiosk/bag drop procedures. This is my 3rd airport in 2 weeks where the process is a complete mess for passengers and staff when it’s clearly the fault of someone in an ivory tower who thought this would be “efficient”. Hire humans.

@mme_wagstaff Pareil.

As a teacher in U.S., I will finally concede the existence of learning loss. It seems it’s not the children we need to worry about, though.

Not only should @Schoology not be auto-closing my support tickets, they should be paying me to report bugs in the system!

Person: “How can I pray for you?” Me *waves at everything indiscriminately*

If you're able to correct someone's language, that means that you understood what they meant to say or write. So since that 'mistake' doesn't impede communication, consider whether correcting them is appropriate or not.

@bigbobbo85 Sounds ruuuuul helpful and inspiring.

For back to school training day 1 the big messages were to keep it business as usual and directives about dresscode and workspace. We're still in a pandemic. It's not business as usual. #teachfromhome

@tmsaue1 Rigor AND recovery?

@mme_wagstaff @rcaseyLHS @BBmilliken @langchat @WLClassroom Yes. They improved the navigation a little right around the end of the school year. It’s a little easier to find the stuff you want now.

Here's the actual MEET THE TEACHER video for those who asked :-) #FCSrising

Gotta say I’m a really big fan of every person on EduTwitter NOT having a hot take every 5 minutes about other teachers’ best efforts during remote/hybrid/quaranlearning. Anyway, that’s my hot take. #doyourbest #mindyourbusiness #glasshouses

This year, EVERY teacher is a first year teacher. It explains why no one is taking them seriously.

@kellycondon @PaperMate I mean, @mmschocolate did it...

Flair pen online orders where teachers can customize what colors they want in a 24 pack 💡‼️‼️‼️ @PaperMate

@stevevagabond Buy as much language learning software as possible. The more expensive, the better the quality. There are no suitable materials available for free online.

Give me language learning advice Wrong answers only

@lovemysummer Idea #2, similar to 1st: Show Ss an easy-to-copy graphic org (Venn, t-chart, table) and have them *do* something with the information on that resource

@lovemysummer Idea #1: Old-fashioned note taking, but in small bites. Have students choose the 5 most important expressions or whatever and add them to a document. Or make it part of your bellwork for them build up their own hard copy of that resource a little bit at a time.

#langchat Help me brainstorm best way to approach this: in F2F class, we have several reference handouts we use all the time to scaffold/support/guide tasks. Easy to make them digitally available, but how is best so that Ss can refer to them & stay in videochat, esp on phones?1/2
